Fancy R500 pure gold coin to commemorate SA's 25 years of democracy | Traveller24_SA

We the People of South Africa, now have a lucrative opportunity to invest in three collectors coins, released by the South African Reserve bank to commemorate our 25 young years as a constitutional democracy.

The collectible coins - pure-gold R500, sterling-silver R50 and bronze R50 - are available for purchase as individual coins or as part of a variety of coin sets from the SA Mint. The highest court in South Africa, born of the country’s first democratic Constitution in 1994, features prominently on the reverse of the R500 pure-gold coin, which depicts the building that houses the Constitutional Court, including the detail of the beautiful door which has the 27 constitutional rights engraved in its wood, as well as the popular skyline of Johannesburg in the background.

The reverse of the R50 sterling-silver collectible coin features the constitutional democracy in action, symbolised by a line of people queuing to vote as they did on 27 April 1994 in the first democratic elections in South Africa. It was the first time that all South Africans were allowed to vote.
